It’s hard to categorize the annual “60 in 60” tips session at ABA TECHSHOW because it could be anything – useful websites, new apps, career resources, gadgets, editing and proofreading tools for lawyers, or anything else the panelists find that we can’t live without. Below is a sample of what was covered this year. For the complete list, view my story on Wakelet.

The short list from 60 in 60

TimeFlip – a battery-powered cardboard polygon that uses an app on your smartphone to track time spent on meetings, phone calls, email, and other tasks.

Dryver – the mobile app where you can hire a driver starting at $15.95/hour to drive you around in your own car.

Ceev.io – the free Chrome extension that uses your LinkedIn profile to create a resume. Here’s mine. Choose from four themes, nine accent colors, and five different fonts at no charge. Unlock more options for $10. My tip: also consider Strikingly, which allows you to create a website using your LinkedIn profile.

There’s so much more … like how to create your own digital medical exhibits

Hopefully I’ve tempted you. Check out the complete list from 60 in 60! Where else will you learn how to validate websites, determine if your passwords have been compromised, use private browsing, convert your blog into a podcast, check Google trends, or mute calls using your Apple watch?

Looking for a job? Stand out from other candidates by creating your own personal Web site with Strikingly. Simply create a login, then choose from one of six templates under the Personal tab or scroll to the bottom of the page and select “One Click Online Resume” to convert your LinkedIn profile to a personal Web site. It’s that easy and it’s free!

Click edit to change the background image, upload your own image, change the template style, add content or edit content. Save at any time to avoid losing your edits and use Preview to test drive your site before making it live. When you’re done, click Publish.

To navigate your site, use the slide bar or simply scroll down the page. (Note: recommendations follow experience, but don’t have their own navigation.)

It is incredibly easy to use. Hard to beat a “one click and you’re done” Web site.

If you build one personal site and don’t mind the strikingly.com domain name, there is no charge.

Sites are available instantly – about 10 seconds and I was off and running.

Editing is easy and intuitive. I was pleasantly surprised to learn I could upload my own background images and change the template style.

Stock iconography and logos are used advantageously to enhance content.

A key recommendation was showcased in an appealing way.

Publicize your new site on Twitter or Facebook when done!

If you are looking for a more engaging, interesting way to present your qualifications, please give Strikingly a try. Take the time to edit and personalize your site by uploading your own background image and tweaking the template. For custom domains and other features, check out the Limited or Pro pricing plans.
